Best New Parody Twitter Account

@TecklenburgJohn

Staff Pick

Last November, John Tecklenburg earned one of the highest honors in Charleston politics: He received his own parody Twitter account. No sooner had the real Tecklenburg claimed victory in Charleston’s mayoral race did his online imposter begin to post such election night promises as “I plan to fix traffic in #chs by A) Ticketing and booting more vehicles keeping them off the road B) Not fixing potholes, thus breaking cars” and perhaps the pinnacle of modern tweeting, “SO excited for Riverdog’s baseball to begin. See you all down at ‘The Teck’ for baseball, fireworks, and fun times!!! #chs.” I, for one, welcome our new Twitter overlord. —Dustin Waters
